NEW YORK — Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez is expecting a baby with new
husband Grammy-winning salsa star Marc Anthony, The New York Post
reported Tuesday.

Anthony, meanwhile, is refusing even to saw whether the couple
got married at the weekend at Lopez's Hollywood home.

A guest at the marriage told a source quoted by the paper that
the curvaceous film star, who broke off her highly publicized
engagement with film star Ben Affleck just a few months ago, was
expecting.

Another friend confirmed that Lopez has been informing friends
of her pregnancy, the New York tabloid said.

The marriage has so far only been reported by the US celebrity
media.

Anthony refused to confirm it when he made an appearance on
NBC's Today Show on Tuesday to sing one of his new songs.

"I see where you're going with this, and I'm going to preface it
with just saying – y'all know I don't talk about my personal life,"
Anthony said.

The newlyweds, who are longtime friends, have a lot in common.

Both are "Nuyoricans" born in modest circumstances in New York to
parents from Puerto Rico. Both have worked in pop music (including
a duet together) and film, and become multimillionaires.

Anthony, an old flame of Lopez, was granted a divorce in the
Dominican Republic just last week from Puerto Rican former Miss
Universe Dayanara Torres. He has two children with Torres and
another from an earlier relationship.

Lopez's marriage to backup dancer Cris Judd floundered just a
few months after their September 2001 nuptials. Her first marriage,
to Ojani Noa, ended in 1998.

In addition to her marriages, the Hollywood headliner is also
veteran of at least a couple of high-profile relationships with
powerful men in the entertainment industry.

J.Lo's 18-month-long on-again, off-again courtship with Affleck
finally ended in January, after a cancelled September 2003 wedding
and a movie together, Gigli, which proved to be a critical and
commercial bomb.

She also had an earlier, longterm relationship with rap mogul,
fashion designer and actor Sean "Puffy" Combs, who now goes by the
moniker P.Diddy. – Sapa-AFP
